We're looking for a hands-on IT leader to build and run the business systems that help Alchemy work. You'll own enterprise applications and their integrations, manage and develop the IT team, and help teams across the company redesign how they work with AI.
This is a player-coach role. You'll configure applications, write integrations, debug workflows, and ship automations yourself. You'll also set priorities, coach engineers, manage performance, and keep day-to-day IT service dependable.
You'll identify recurring manual processes, build automations or agent workflows, and decide which steps need human review. You'll deploy and test those systems and teach the team to maintain them.
Own business applications. Lead technical administration and improvement of Salesforce and connected sales tools, People Ops systems such as Rippling and ChartHop, and other business applications as priorities require. Partner with business owners on configuration, data quality, permissions, and technical escalations.
Build across systems. Write and maintain API integrations, scripts, and workflows that connect applications, reconcile data, and automate employee and business processes. Own testing, monitoring, failure recovery, and documentation.
Redesign work around AI. Partner with Sales, People Ops, Recruiting, Finance, and Legal to identify workflows worth rebuilding. Deliver agents and automations that can gather context, carry out authorized steps, verify results, and escalate exceptions to the right person.
Manage the team. Set priorities and expectations, run regular feedback and development conversations, hire, and manage performance. Balance service coverage with project work and make clear tradeoffs when demand exceeds capacity.
Raise the team's AI capability. Build alongside engineers, review their work, and turn successful approaches into shared tools, skills, and runbooks. Make AI-assisted building and verification part of how the team delivers work.
Keep IT service reliable. Oversee support quality, onboarding and offboarding, escalations, and operational coverage with the engineers responsible for service desk, identity, endpoints, and office technology. Jump into difficult issues when needed.
Make automation safe to operate. Partner with Security on least-privilege access, sensitive-data handling, audit trails, and approval boundaries. Use explicit approvals for high-impact actions and provide a way to stop or roll back failed automation.
Own the application roadmap and spend. Evaluate tools, manage vendor relationships and renewals, and bring application expertise in-house where it improves service or cost. Measure improvements through reliability, turnaround time, manual work removed, and adoption by the teams served.
Deep hands-on experience administering enterprise SaaS applications and building integrations; strong Salesforce experience and the ability to learn unfamiliar business systems.
Experience managing technical staff, including coaching, prioritization, hiring, and performance management. You're comfortable staying close to implementation.
Ability to build and debug with APIs, scripting, and workflow platforms such as n8n or Okta Workflows, with sound practices for testing and production changes.
Evidence of shipping AI-enabled workflows that other people use. You can explain what you delegated to AI, what you verified, where it failed, and how you improved it.
Experience helping a team adopt new tools and working practices, including supporting people with different starting skill levels.
Strong judgment about identity, access, employee data, and business-critical changes. You know when deterministic automation or a human decision is the better choice.
Ability to translate business needs into technical work, explain tradeoffs, and follow through on operational details.
Supporting People Ops, Recruiting, Finance, or Legal applications alongside sales systems.
Employee lifecycle automation, identity integrations, and IT service management.
Building agent integrations, reusable skills, or evaluation suites with an internal AI platform.
Business systems have clear technical ownership.
The IT team delivers dependable support and application improvements, with fewer recurring manual tasks.
Teams across the company use workflows you've helped build, and your engineers can extend and operate them without depending on you for every change.
